  Responding to Inane Arguments Against Armed Guards

  I don't know if President Trump was right in calling for armed guards at all houses of worship. And I don't know if stricter gun controls would lessen the ever-rising tide of bloodshed in America. But I do know bad arguments when I see them. And a recent article in the Huffington Post was replete with such arguments.

  God Is Neither Republican Nor Democrat

  When it comes to the political scene today, the Republicans are not always right and the Democrats are not always right. The same goes for the Independents and the Libertarians. Unfortunately, when it comes to the political divide, we tend to view things in black and white terms.

  Was Megyn Kelly the Victim of Political Correctness?

  Let's put aside the question of whether NBC was looking for an excuse to dump Megyn Kelly because of low ratings and controversies. And let's put aside whether she had a history of racially insensitive remarks. Instead, let's ask one question only: Was her "blackface" comment racist or insensitive?

All are guilty, all are to blame, and all have a responsibility to speak responsibly. It's time to temper the rhetoric. Otherwise there will be blood on the streets.

  Evangelicals and Trump: A Match Made in Heaven or Marriage With Hell?

  I have nothing personal against those who identify as transgender. To the contrary, my heart goes out to them. What struggles have they lived with, feeling trapped for years in the wrong body?

  Donald Trump Is Not the Christ and Donald Trump Is Not the Antichrist

  What does surprise me is when a fellow-believer in Jesus tells me I'm a heretic and non-believer since I sometimes take issue with the president. The simple truth is that Donald Trump is the president, not the Messiah (and not the antimessiah, better known as the antichrist). Is this so hard to grasp?
